In 2011, a plan for a pedestrian path on the waterfront area of Bay Street extending through the Annapolis area of Bay Street was approved. In 2014, the Kitsap Sun ran an article stating that the City of Port Orchard would not enforce eminent domain for those not wanting to sell or relocate from their property in the path zone. Sometime during this planning phase and resolution, a bicycle path was inclusive to this plan changing the pedestrian path from a maximum 6 feet to  a 15 feet allowance accessed through eminent domain. The result is the city of Port Orchard is planning to tear down several previously saved buildings protected by their previous ruling forcing these tenents to relocate or sell their properties to the city as of 2019, This would include a potentially Historic property located at 1961 Bay Street which was built in 1910. These are long term tenants, businesses, both renters and owners. The pedestrian/Bicycle path is to be completed by 2023. A compromise needs to happen. The neighborhood would welcome a sidewalk in the area allowing the small amount of foot traffic and bicycles to utilize the scenic waterfront in Annapolis. There is no financial benefit to the city to have the dual purpose bike path. Putting people out of their homes, destroying businesses and demolishing properties should not displace families, neighbors and businesses who have long resided in this newly revitalized area. This is  is not acceptable.
